Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Yahweh; listen to my pleas. Because of your faithfulness and righteousness, answer me!
大卫的诗。 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告， 留心听我的恳求， 凭你的信实和公义应允我。
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no one is righteous.
求你不要审问仆人； 因为在你面前，凡活着的人没有一个是义的。
3 The enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed me to the ground; he has made me to live in darkness like those who have been dead a long time.
原来仇敌逼迫我， 将我打倒在地， 使我住在幽暗之处， 像死了许久的人一样。
4 My spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart despairs.
所以，我的灵在我里面发昏； 我的心在我里面凄惨。
5 I call to mind the old days; I meditate on all your deeds; I reflect on your accomplishments.
我追想古时之日， 思想你的一切作为， 默念你手的工作。
6 I spread my hands out to you; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land. (Selah)
我向你举手； 我的心渴想你， 如干旱之地盼雨一样。 (细拉)
7 Answer me quickly, Yahweh, because my spirit faints. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those who go down into the pit.
耶和华啊，求你速速应允我！ 我心神耗尽！ 不要向我掩面， 免得我像那些下坑的人一样。
8 Let me hear your covenant faithfulness in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way where I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
求你使我清晨得听你慈爱之言， 因我倚靠你； 求你使我知道当行的路， 因我的心仰望你。
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh; I flee to you to hide.
耶和华啊，求你救我脱离我的仇敌！ 我往你那里藏身。
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me in the land of uprightness.
求你指教我遵行你的旨意， 因你是我的 神。 你的灵本为善； 求你引我到平坦之地。
11 Yahweh, for your name's sake, keep me alive; in your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
耶和华啊，求你为你的名将我救活， 凭你的公义，将我从患难中领出来，
12 In your covenant faithfulness cut off my enemies and destroy all the enemies of my life, for I am your servant.
凭你的慈爱剪除我的仇敌， 灭绝一切苦待我的人， 因我是你的仆人。
